...troop that goes back to Colonial days. Near the Johnston Gate the procession of officers and undergraduates is formed, in the reverse order of classes, and it is a moving sight to watch the procession of younger and younger alumni until we reach the class that is celebrating its triennial. Seniors in their bachelors' gowns (another medieval survival) line up in double ranks for the procession of alumni to pass between, and then fall in and march to their places in Sever Quadrangle (now Tercentenary Theatre...
...York since 1921, set his stern, septuagenarian face, and flatly refused to get off his episcopal throne. Heartened, Buffalo's Bishop Cam eron Josiah Davis, a comparative young ster of 70, said he would not budge either. The trouble started last October, when the Episcopal Church's Triennial General Convention (TIME, Oct. 18, 1943) ruled that bishops must retire at the age of 72. The convention also resolved that this rule was "binding upon the present members of the House [of Bishops...
Last week Episcopalians were slightly torn by unity.

Last week the Episcopalians' 53rd triennial General Convention, at Kansas City, did not quite get around to creating an archbishopric but it voted to make the National Cathedral at Washington the official seat of the Presiding Bishop, thus giving him a national pulpit for his pronouncements. Eventually the change may mean that the diocese of Washington will become a primatial see for the U. S. such as Canterbury is for England...
Strangely similar to the problems of the U. S. itself were those which confronted the Protestant Episcopal Church of the U. S. when its bishops, clergy and laity met last week for its 53rd triennial General Convention in Kansas City. Like the U. S., Episcopalians have problems of foreign policy: how to cope with the Japanese, what to do about aid to Britain, how to protect their investments (missionary enterprise) abroad, how to cooperate with other churches. Like the U. S., they also have domestic problems: the financing of a crisis-upped budget, family relationships, youth problems, how to safeguard...
